McCain campaign considers Hillary Scott's mom
 Details magazine thoughtfully provided a list of ten women in politics who it thought were hotter than Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Clockwise from right we see Palin's recent Vogue cover, then Carey Torrice, commissioner of Macomb County, Michigan (I think Ms. Torrice looks like Hillary Scott), South Dakota congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, and Mary Carey (I know this doesn't count, but she did run for California governor and ate at the White House).
Assemblywomen Janelle Hyer Spencer of New York and Nicole Parra of California round out the list in a pair of poses I call "Gram's Beans And Franks."
What terrifies me is that I don't see a great deal of difference in the general ill-advisedness of having either Sarah Palin or Mary Carey as a leader, aside from the fact that Carey ran as a joke and Palin might actually believe she's qualified.
Since you're asking, I'd go with Hillary Scott. At least she was in Corruption. Or maybe Hillary Scott's mom.

Memphis Monroe's nipples get Clubbed
 Kentucky's own Memphis Monroe adorns the cover of September's Club International magazine, but her nipples do not.
"I took a double take," Monroe said. "I was like 'When the hell did my nipples become tan and look fake?'"
I have never understood why nipples were chosen as the part of the breast to obscure in photos. Don't the censors know that the sides, top, and bottom of breasts are just as dirty?
Think of it this way: Have you ever said, "I want to come on your nipples"? No, you say, "I want to come all over your tits."
And what is the point of obscuring something if you're just going to use something flesh-colored?
I was taken aback when I saw this photo, thinking Monroe's nipples had been replaced with those foam things one puts on the legs of chairs to keep them from scuffing hardwood floors.
"I like your nipples," I told Monroe, and admitted that only after five years of working in the adult industry did I not feel creepy saying something like that. "Where did they go?"
"Gram, you're still a creep without saying that," she said. "You should have gotten that off your chest a long time ago, Creep."
UPDATE: Club editrix Lisa Massaro writes to let us know that on the September cover of that magazine (note that one is the international version), it is Bree Olson's nipples that disappear.

Ed Fox: No mean feet
 Photographer Ed Fox (whose picture of the newly-minted Noname Jane debuted on this site a week ago) is displaying his work for Garage Magazine at a group show at San Francisco's Minna Gallery.
"Full Custom Living: The Art of Garage Magazine" is a group show featuring 26 contributors to the magazine devoted to custom cars, hot rods, and the art they inspire.
Fox' book "Glamour from the Ground Up" is, for lack of a better phrase, hands-down the most popular coffee table book on display in my office, attracting even the people who say they don't like porn. Fox' depictions of fleshy, hot-blooded vixens - each of whom has feet - are frank, compelling, and accessible with just enough professional affectation to make the viewer comfortable that he paid for a work of art.
In other words, you'd hang these pictures in a garage, but they don't look like they were shot in a garage (except for the photos that were actually shot in a garage).
As Governor of the State of California and one of its largest landowners, I was interested in how Fox, a Mexican-American and native Angeleno, approached his work, which seems to be particularly reflective of Los Angeles.
Gram: What do you think makes an L.A. setting instantly recognizable in a photograph?
Fox: The traffic and smog? Since I don't visit many other places, it's hard to know. Maybe it's the whole package: the models, their clothes, and the architecture.
 Gram: You can see why L.A.'s architecture is a certain way, and even how the clothes reflect the environment. But the models are particular to L.A. as well?
Fox: You just know how nice it would feel to squeeze them. It's the same reason I like a meaty foot, because there's more to squeeze. it's 'fleshy' instead of hard. I don't like it when the models start approaching 30 and start getting worried so they feel they have to work out extra hard and end up too lean and muscular. I think we are attracted to the fleshy girls because we are so used to seeing fake, overly manicured models (bleached hair, fake tits, tans, piercings etc.) that when these natural beauties come along, our jaws drop and we say 'where did you come from?'
The pictures on this page are of Jelena Jenson, Aria Giovanni, and Casey Parker.
 Gram: You get day laborers from Home Depot to pose with the likes of Kelly Madison, Tall Goddess, and No Name Jane (the former Violet Blue). I can imagine this beats low-cost caulking for Glendale slumlords.
Fox: Since I speak Spanish fluently, I kind of had a leg up which also allowed these guys to trust me or maybe feel more comfortable. The models just go with whatever I tell them and the ones that go with it always turn out the best results. Tall Goddess I remember always wanted more. She'd round them all up like cattle and everyone just had a great time. I don't know who got more out of it, the workers or her!
 Gram: How much did you pay the Home Depot guys?
Fox: Are you kidding? Being in the presence of these lovelies was payment enough. I thought of it as me bringing them these gifts. Like the 'untouchable' girls from the magazines would just fall out of the sky and land in front of them.
 Gram: In the foreword to "Glamour," (Leg Show editor) Dian Hanson makes note of the shyness of some fetish photographers. What is that about?
Fox: We foot fetishists come in all different forms. Some are blatant and others are more secretive, for a few reasons. I feel uncomfortable talking about it because people think it's weird and just don't understand. "Why feet?" "I don't know; why breasts or why blondes versus brunette?"
...If anything, foot fetishists have that one extra female body part to appreciate when those who don't get it are missing out.
...Also, it's a little more exciting or 'dirty' to keep the fetish on the down-low. it then becomes more of a voyeuristic thing.
 Gram: How do models who don't know you respond to "Take off your shoes," or, is there an attitude a good foot model shares with the photographer?
Fox: If a girl knows I have a foot fetish and in public says "oh here, look at my feet" and throws her shoe off and puts it in front of my face or on my lap, it totally ruins it. There's no going for the kill. Most likely that girl will not have nice feet anyway. Just because a girl takes care of her feet and gets pedicures weekly, doesn't mean she has nice feet. It's about shape, or size, odor or even how she teases you with it without her even knowing she's doing it.

Hustler squeezes blood from a Bunnyranch
 Are today's sports heroes pussy-whipped? Is the rapper Everlast still alive and, if so, what does he think about hip-hop? Is there anything left to say about the Moonlite Bunnyranch?
Hustler Magazine is hoping you want to know, and will answer these questions as well as this one: Is Ann Coulter a dude? The September issue, which comes out in a week (?), also features nudity.

Ava Rose hears you call her name, decides it feels like home
 Ava Rose's spread (that was just the best word available; I didn't mean to sound filthy) in April's Penthouse is reminiscent of the look of a certain New York-bashing children's author circa 1989, when Rose was three.
The delightful Adam & Eve contract star frolicked through a virtual French country house to achieve the combination of rusticity and glamor that is her trademark. Rustic, for porn, because her boobs are real.

Report: Stormy Daniels appears on magazine cover
 A recent trend in the exciting world of men's adult magazines is the celebrity publisher. Tera Patrick fulfills that post at Genesis magazine, founded in 1973.
While I don't think the celebrity publisher's duties are as great as those of the publisher of The New York Times, a celebrity publisher usually carries more weight around the office than the publishers of adult trade magazines.
Tera contributes the Teravision column for Genesis and has appeared on its cover 10 times. In that Oprah appears on the cover of her own magazine every issue, I think Tera is humble by comparison.
I had a long conversation with Tera about typesetting, the magazine's controversial decision to abandon Quark, and the vicissitudes of tri-state printing rates, but it was too sexy.
Old Testament names are common in pornographic media. In addition to Genesis, there's Adam Film World, Adam & Eve, and Neuteronomy, a publication for castrati.
Stormy Daniels graces the May issue of Genesis, which also happens to be Tera's 50th as publisher.

Audacia's (cup) half full
 My pal Audacia Ray was asked by Time Out New York what her fantasy was. Eschewing, I'm sure, the urge to reply "universal health care" or "affordable housing" she said she wanted to be doubly penetrated.
"(T)he idea of getting filled up and stretched out has always appealed to me," Ray said and, unlike most of the other respondents, actually went out and did it.
...we decided that Bobby D should enter me anally, on the principle that my vagina would be more stretchable once I was half full (an optimist’s DP!) Read the full article here.

Theresa Flynt featured in Oprah Magazine
 Hustler Hollywood creator, LFP video marketing director, and Larry Flynt scion Theresa Flynt is featured in this month's Oprah magazine in an article penned by my pal The Original Violet Blue.
The article is titled "Eyes Wide Open" but I cannot find it online. A search on Oprah's site (we are on a first-name basis) reveals another article titled "Eyes Wide Open", but that's about insomnia.
In the article, Flynt extols the quality of Hustler products and Blue debunks the theory that women who watch porn only like the "romantic" stuff.
